- What time period (ex. 2006-2008 or January 2008 - June 2009) do/did/will you enjoy the most of MapleStory?

- What, if anything, do you LIKE about the progression of the game since beta?
- What, if anything, do you DISLIKE about the progression of the game since beta?
- What feature of the game kept you playing the longest, during whichever period? While "friends" is an understandable answer, I'm curious what parts of the game itself people really enjoy/enjoyed/will enjoy.
- In viewing GMS as a whole since its inception in the world of MapleStory, what are the lasting thoughts, memories, impressions, and emotions you will never forget?
1. Memory Fails, but right when ludi first came out.
2. Friends were still around and I was in the right level range for LPQ, which was my best social experience in my entire MS lifetime. Even if we had to wait for an hour just to get a channel, we managed to make it fun. It was a game rather than a grind-fest.
3. The UI updates across the years were the primary improvements I saw. Jump down, Maker, Monster Book are my top picks among them. I also liked how new user friendly they made the first 15 levels compared to how they used to be, but only to an extent. I can't say I liked being stuck in a town with no potions or chairs after my job change dieing repeatedly just trying to get to a reasonable training location, but I'm not sure I like being level 18 within an hour of quests either.
4. NX and 4th job.
5. Equipment across the levels I guess? I used every last set of class equipment and that; more than skills; to me kept me going. Beyond that, the outside competition of the Quest Kings kept me going for a while, yet now I'm not sure. Friends are gone, and most of my goals seem unrealistic (starting with that ZMM card, 400 kills in...).
6. Sprites and 2D will live on Forever. All MMOs break down to businesses over time.
